For the 21st Annual AACN Conference, we will again provide the best of both worlds: a traditional live (in-person) conference in Washington, DC and a virtual component.
The in-person conference will provide the fully immersive experience to which AACN conference attendees are accustomed: live workshops, special meetings, and various enriching activities. Plus, we will all be together with our friends and colleagues for the social gatherings and fun that an in-person event facilitates. However, not everyone will be able to attend a live event for various reasons. Furthermore, since several workshops and meetings are scheduled simultaneously, one would usually have to pick one workshop at the expense of another. Our virtual component solves both problems.
The virtual component of the AACN 21st Annual Conference will consist of pre-recorded CE workshops. Our presenters will record their talks in advance of the live conference. Those talks will then be made available to conference registrants on Thursday, June 8, 2023. These videos will remain available for three months (until 9/10/2023).
The Scientific Poster Session will be held in a traditional in-person format in Washington, DC.
In sum, those who attend the live conference will have access to the workshops that they missed, and those unable to travel to the conference will be able to enjoy all of the workshops and earn CE credit. What’s not to love?
Please click on the Register Now link at the top of the page or on this direct link:
Registration will remain open until July 10, 2023.
The virtual workshops will be available on our website beginning Thursday, June 8, 2023. They will remain available until three months after the conclusion of the in-person conference (September 10, 2023).
We will once again provide an easy self check-in system! To record your attendance for a workshop, point your smartphone’s camera at the QR code posted outside the workshop. A link will appear. Tap on the link, and that’s it! You will see a message stating that your attendance was recorded successfully.
Please note that for our system to know that you are you (vs. someone else), you must be logged in to the AACN website on your smartphone. We encourage you to do so in advance of the conference. If you are not yet logged in on your smartphone but you scan the QR code, you will be prompted to login before continuing.
To receive continuing education credit for an in-person workshop, you must (1) have your attendance recorded as described above and (2) complete a post-workshop evaluation form. Once you do so, you will receive a CE certificate by email, and it will be stored in your AACN website account.
Please come to our check-in and help desk. The specific location of the help desk and its hours will be posted here closer to the start of the conference.
Your registration fee includes access to WiFi! The network name and password will be posted here once the hotel provides them.
Yes! The online conference message board is available to those who are registered for the conference and logged into our website.

The virtual and in-person workshops are essentially identical in terms of content. However, the in-person workshops will include a Q&A period and a short break. As a result, the virtual workshops are slightly longer in length due to an absence of Q&A and a break. The APA requires that virtual (“home study”) CEs approximate the full credited time.
Maximum poster dimensions are 3’ high x 4’ wide.
Yes! The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
Please note that APA treats live events differently from pre-recorded ones. The virtual component of this year’s conference will count as “home study” for CE purposes, whereas the live component will not have that designation. Please be sure to check your state/province/territory’s requirements regarding continuing education.
Yes! As of May 28, 2021, The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Psychology as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychologists (#PSY-0094).
Please note that NY State treats live events differently from pre-recorded ones. The virtual component of this year’s conference will count as “home study” for CE purposes, whereas the live component will not have that designation.
Background:
Effective January 1, 2021, the State of New York began requiring each Licensed Psychologist to complete 36 hours of approved continuing education courses for each triennial registration period.
After attending a live conference event, you will complete an evaluation form. The date on the CE certificate will be the date of the live event.
By contrast, after you view a pre-recorded workshop, you will need to pass a quiz based on the content and complete an evaluation form. (These are required for “home study” CE offerings.) Once you do so, the date on the CE certificate will be the day that you passed the quiz and completed the evaluation form.
After you view the pre-recorded content, you will complete a CE evaluation form that includes some quiz questions. When you complete it successfully, the certificate will display the date on which you completed the form, not the date on which the video first became available or when you viewed it.
AACN is pleased to again offer all-in-one pricing for the 2023 Conference. As such, your registration fee provides access to 100% of the conference content, including the live conference events and the pre-recorded CE workshops. Recordings will become available in June 2023 and will remain so for three months after the conclusion of the conference (i.e., September 2023).
If you will attend the live event, you will indicate this preference at registration and select the workshops and events that you want to attend at that time.
For the virtual component, no such selections are necessary: all of the CE workshops will be available to you.
Attendees will have access to the pre-recorded content and live Q&A material during the conference and for up to three months after its conclusion (i.e., September 2023). This interval will provide plenty of time to view and enjoy all of the material. We do not allow any recordings to be saved, although you are welcome and encouraged to keep your copy of the workshop handouts.
Not at all! AACN welcomes members and non-members to its conference every year. Current AACN active, senior, and student members, as well as non-certified affiliates, receive discounted rates on conference registration. You are welcome to join AACN as a student member or non-certified affiliate to enjoy the same savings!
AACN receives funds from various test companies and publishers to provide financial support for receptions during the conference; however, no financial support is provided for individual workshops that offer CE credit.
